Based on a tale by Aesop and written in a period when public theatres were closed, this early opera or 'masque' was popular among nobility in 16th and 17th Century England and formed the origins of opera as we know it today. With music by Matthew Locke, Christopher Gibbons, and Henry Purcell, 'Cupid and Death' was originally a tale by Aesop and tells the tale of what happens when Cupid and Death accidentally swap arrows. Featuring dramatic, comic and delightful music from 17th Century England, this production was first performed for the Portuguese Ambassador to Great Britain in 1653 and was first revived in the 20th century, in 1919 at Rutland Boughton’s Glastonbury Festival, then in 1979 here at Holme Pierrepont Hall. |
